Warming Up

"Hm," Crimson muttered to himself as he glared at the final Metool. "You have just ruined my swift and easy victory."

"What was that?" Scarlett asked.

"Nothing Miss Scarlett. Though I am a tad irritated by this cowardly virus."

"Well, what do you expect what with the way you brutally decimated its partners."

"I suppose. Oh well."

Crimson towered over the hiding virus, augmented scythe pulsating with the power of the RageClaw BattleChip. The Metool's helmet was a near impenetrable defense and he lacked the weaponry to smash through the yellow shell. He would need to be clever and upturn the virus, helmet and all. Crimson raised one boot in order to apply pressure to the Metool and make sure it wouldn't pop up and attack him while he prepared to flip it. The Navi switched his grip on his scythe, holding it as one would hold a farmer's hoe. He struck the ground next to the Metool, hoping to dig the scythe blades underneath the virus. Crimson switched his grip again and, stepping off the Metool, he twisted his whole body and brought the scythe up and down in an overhead chop that was supposed to lift the Metool and smash it into the ground in front of him.

That should do it. Crimson thought. But just in case...

Crimson swung his scythe in front of him, twisting his torso and spinning on one foot to gain momentum. He brought the scythe back down and slashed at the Metool once more. The trio of blades rippled with energy as the weapon cleaved through the still air toward its prey. With luck, this last strike would end the battle once and for all.

Summary:
1. Step on Metool to stop it from attacking.
2. RageClaw(20) to lift Metool and slam it into the ground on its helmet.
3. RageClaw(40) to Metool.
((Bump!))
Crimson firmly places his foot onto the top of the Metool's helm, preventing the Metool's escape and counter attack as it went *MEEEP* under the helm. Crimson then flips it's ass over and strikes it soon after, felling the poor Metool. Several moments later, he eyes data in the corpse of the first Metool.

MetoolA: DELETED
MetoolB: DELETED
MetoolC: ELIMINATED

Crimson.EXE: 100 [RageClaw]

Terrain: 100% Normal

Rewards: 50z+Guard1 chip data
"Tch," Crimson muttered as he flicked his nose with his thumb. "The bastard messed up my groove."

"You beat him, though." Scarlett answered. "And it seems like we've received a BattleChip for our victory."

"The first of many. I wonder how long it will take to replace everything that you sold?"

"Too long..." Scarlett sighed. "We may have to take some jobs at less than 100%."

"Well, let's get going."

Crimson scooped up the remaining data from the trio of Metools and beamed the important stuff to the PET before continuing deeper into ACDC.

((Battle 2, please))
((Bump!))
((Bump!))
Crimson travels further into the net, encountering stationary cannons and cowardly shrubs that race around the back of the cannons. Could this be a simple battle? Who knows? Get ready to fight!

CannondumbA: 50 HP
CannondumbB: 50 HP
CannondumbC: 50 HP
ShrubbyA: 50 HP (Behind CDA)
ShrubbyB: 50 HP (Behind CDB)
ShrubbyC: 50 HP (Behind CDC)

Crimson.exe: 100 HP

-BATTLE 2-
-GO-
"Ha!" Crimson laughed. "It looks like we've done so well that our enemies have doubled."

"Well," Scarlett countered. "Let's hope that the trend doesn't continue. We barely have the BattleChips available to take out these six, let alone any more."

"True, though these things look pathetic. See how the shrub things are hiding behind the cannons?" Crimson paused, weighing the chances of a trap or if the viruses were tougher than they looked. "I should be careful though. Send me the Shotgun and the Cannon to start with."

Crimson surged with power as Scarlett complied with his request. The data from the two BattleChips rushed through his body, beginning to be released. He channeled the energy into his scythe, the blade flaring to life with a blazing aura. The weapon flickered hungrily, demanding to lay waste to the viruses and feast upon their code.

Crimson focused his attention to the trio of cannons that stood in his path. They were stationary turrets, once used by the NetPolice but now controlled by viruses to attack the Navi it used to protect. They were useful, but ultimately worthless. Still, they could pose a problem if they attacked en mass. He would have to take them out fast and hope that the shrubs were too frightened to counter him.

The scythe's blood red aura flashed brightly as Crimson loaded the ShotGun BattleChip into place. He held the scythe in both hands, holding the blade back behind his shoulder as he took aim at the center of the cannons. He took a few quick steps forward and slashed down the with scythe, sending a wave of dark energy toward one of the cannons. It spiraled through the air, hurdling toward Crimson's prey. With luck, the wave would strike one of the cannons and then continue on to take out another one as well.

The Navi took a few steps to his left, strafing around the cannons while twirling the scythe in front of him in an effort to distort his image and throw off the aim of the viruses. He loaded the second BattleChip, charging the scythe with its power. He took aim at the third cannon in line and let swing with his weapon, slicing through the aim and sending a blast of energy toward the turret. The blast soared across the battlefield, like an owl diving down on a mouse.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:
1. ShotGun(50) to CannondumbA, spread(50) to CannondumbB
2. Dodge left
3. Cannon(40) to CannondumbC
((Bump))
The two Cannondumbs were utterly destroyed by the destructive shotgun-powered energy blades. The sole surviving Cannondumb immediately fired hazardously towards Crimson, but the navi dodged all the shots with ease and sent another blade to nearly cleave the virus in half. Now, the two Shrubby hiding behind was out in the open and they prepared for battle as well!
